The Trinity aortic valve is designed to be positioned precisely or repositioned implantation.

“In our study, Trinity’s sealing cuff continues to provide outstanding follow-up results without PVL (paravalvular leak), a frequent complication of TAVI,” said Prof. Dr. Christian Hengstenberg, a cardiologist at the German Heart Center, Munich, Germany. “Equally important, the Trinity aortic valve is designed to reduce the risk of atrio-ventricular (AV) block significantly through supra-annular positioning of the Trinity valve.”

The Trinity aortic valve prosthesis is comprised of a bovine pericardium valve with porcine pericardium-sealing cuff that is mounted on a self-expanding Nitinol frame. The valve is pre-mounted on a detachable catheter tip. Trinity’s features enable controlled positioning and true repositioning without foreshortening. The valve prosthesis is protected during folding of the stent. This Zero Pressure Crimping is expected to improve valve durability and broaden the application of transcatheter valve implantations across a larger patient population.
